BlackSky proposes building the Remote driven automated target recognition (ATR) Service, a fully end-to-end automated solution for tracking the movement of vehicles and maintaining custody of targets using data from multiple sensor systems.  BlackSky will build a cloud-based ecosystem continuously pulling multi-INT satellite sensor data, fuses and processes it through artificial intelligence (AI) to track vehicles and distributes actionable intelligence to mobile devices and analysts worldwide. The goal of this effort is to develop an end-to-end software tool that aggregates opportunistic space-based capabilities and enables an efficient and reliable ecosystem for the request and delivery of data products. The focus is on space-to-ground based tracking of vehicles (cars, trucks, military vehicles, mobile equipment, ships, maritime military assets, etc). BlackSky will take advantage of existing commercial ground and space architectures and BlackSky’s proven vertically integrated, end-to-end solutions. BlackSky has invested over $350M in private capital over 7 years to develop an autonomous global remote sensing system that consists of a 14-satellite constellation of high-resolution visible imaging satellites and a global satellite ground system that enables rapid tasking, collection, and image data delivery. This is underpinned by a secure, fully cloud-enabled satellite operations system; a user-friendly, web-based tasking system; and a cloud-based exploitation system that utilizes continuously evolving AI/ML) technologies to fuse open-source intelligence feeds with satellite imagery to provide information and intelligence on critical objects of interest. BlackSky has developed a proven capability to track moving targets using it’s electro-optical (EO) satellite constellation. Unlike traditional Moving Target Indicator (MTI) that relies on radar sensors and the Doppler effect, BlackSky’s Spectra AI platform performs target tracking using multi-frame spaceborne optical imagery. Advancements in computing have afforded greater on-orbit processing capabilities than ever before, a key factor in achieving the low-latency requirements for Department of Defense (DoD) entities. BlackSky recently demonstrated its EO-based target recognition and MTI algorithms successfully within an on-orbit testbed. Experimenting within this resource-constrained environment produced valuable insight to appropriately architect on-orbit processing solutions. BlackSky will work to build the Spectra Custody Service, a fully end-to-end automated solution for tracking the movement of vehicles and maintain custody of targets using data from the BlackSky satellites and other sensor systems. BlackSky will conduct the work in 3 phases. (1) systems engineering work to verify the additional layers which close the loop and make vehicle monitoring possible at scale (2) develop the service, beginning with a maritime tracking use case (3) demonstration for moving vehicles.

SkyFi partners with BlackSky to deliver 35 cm satellite tasking, including Nighttime Collection. SHARE THE ARTICLE Partnership will bring access to BlackSky Gen-2 and Gen-3 daytime, nighttime, and stereo tasking to commercial and government users on the SkyFi platform AUSTIN, TX September 24, 2026 - SkyFi, the leading Earth Intelligence Platform, today announced a partnership with BlackSky, a real-time space-based intelligence company. The integration will make BlackSky's Gen-3 and Gen-2 satellite tasking available directly in the SkyFi platform. SkyFi will connect to BlackSky Spectra(R), giving users on-demand access to high-cadence, very high-resolution optical collection without a minimum purchase commitment. BlackSky's Gen-3 constellation delivers 35 cm native resolution at nadir. Gen-2 captures 85 cm-class imagery. Both will be available to SkyFi users for point tasking with day and night collection windows. "BlackSky will bring capabilities to our platform that our users have asked for repeatedly, including high revisit optical imagery and nighttime collection," said Luke Fischer, CEO of SkyFi. "A customer will be able to order both time-diverse Gen-2 and Gen-3 35 cm imagery with multiple daily and nighttime imaging opportunities through the same interface and the same checkout they already use, with no contract and no minimum." Benefits of the SkyFi - BlackSky integration will include: * Rapid Collection and Delivery: BlackSky's constellation supports multiple revisits per day at many latitudes, with average collect-to-delivery latency of 90 minutes or less. Orders that fail cloud cover or quality thresholds will be automatically retasked within the original collection window. * Nighttime Collection: BlackSky is one of the few commercial providers offering nighttime optical tasking. SkyFi users will be able to order nighttime collections alongside daytime and stereo products, extending monitoring coverage for ports, airfields, energy infrastructure, and activity-based intelligence. * Access Without Minimums: SkyFi users will access BlackSky collections per scene through the SkyFi web platform, MCP, or API. Enterprise users with a SkyFi Pro account will be able to integrate BlackSky tasking into existing workflows, set revisit cadence against saved Areas of Interest, and manage user access and budgets. High-Resolution Tasking Across Sectors BlackSky Gen-3 and Gen-2 dynamic monitoring supports use cases across defense, disaster response, infrastructure monitoring, energy, insurance, and supply chain. The 35 cm Gen-3 product is suited to object-level detection and classification. Nighttime collection extends monitoring into hours that optical imagery has traditionally left uncovered. Stereo products support terrain and structure analysis. The partnership continues SkyFi's expansion of its provider network, which includes more than 300 satellite and analytics sources. Once integrated, individual SkyFi users and enterprise account registrants will have access to BlackSky tasking at app.skyfi.com.
